The Spiral is a large high-technological rifle which appears in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. It fires high penetration-type bullets.[1] Its long reload time can be circumvented by quickly switching guns between shots. Upgrading it raises its max firepower.[2]
The Spiral is found in the Subterranean Lake during Mission 9: Faded Memories of Dante's scenario.
Gameplay
Compared to other firearms in Devil May Cry 3, the Spiral is a gun of extremes. Its high penetration bullets are designed to deal high damage to stagger foes and ricochet. Its size limits Dante's mobility however.

Background
The Spiral is a modified Lahti L-39 20mm anti-materiel rifle. The Spiral features a shortened barrel, a wood handguard (which replaces the L-39's standard bipod) and a carry handle in front of the magazine housing. All of these modifications make the Spiral easier to wield without hindering the shooter's mobility.
